You should not have to light the heater with a match, but should it become
necessary, open the access door, lift the heat chamber up by holding the handle
and touch the match to the top of the wick. DO NOT allow burned parts of the
match to fall or remain on the wick.
Be sure that heat chamber is properly seated by moving the heat chamber handle
left and right, and close the access door.
LIGHTING
NOTE: When you first use your new heater, ignite it out of the living area of your house, either in a garage or an
outside area protected from strong drafts. Burn it for about 15 minutes to remove all of the protective oil
present on the burner parts. lf this 15 minutes “burn-in” is done inside, some objectionable odor will be
observed. This procedure is necessary ONLY THE FIRST TIME you ignite your heater.
NOTE: lf you have fueled your heater for the first time, or if you are refueling it after it has been out of fuel for a
long time, you will need to wait about thirty (30) minutes for the wick to become fully saturated before
Iighting. Failure to allow enough time for the wick to become fully saturated may cause permanent damage
to the wick when it is lighted.
1. Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops.
It makes a spark discharge sound in the process of lighting procedure, but turn the
wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops.
As the wick rises within the heater, the wick adjuster knob turns with some
resistance and makes a sound like the winding of a clock. Once the wick has
reached its proper height, the automatic extinguisher is fully engaged.
The wick adjuster knob can now move freely left or right to adjust the flame.
2. LIGHTING WITH A MATCH
You should not have to light the heater with a match, but should it become
necessary, open the access door, lift the heat chamber up by holding the wire
handle and touch the match to the top of the wick. DO NOT allow burned parts of
the match to fall or remain on the wick.
NOTE: To restore the automatic igniter system to proper operation, replace worn-
out batteries, or if the igniter coil defective, replace it.
3. Be sure that heat chamber is properly seated by moving the wire heat chamber
handle left and right, and close the access door.
NOTE: An improperly seated heat chamber can cause high flame, smoke, and
potential damage to the heater itself. DO NOT leave the heater until you
have determined that the flame is burning normally, as described in the
following section.

ADJUSTING THE FLAME
1. After lighting, wait for the heat chamber to reach operating temperature. This will take ten-fifteen minutes, after
which the flame will be visible through the mica window.
2. CHECK THE FLAME LENGTH
Look at the flame and check its length. Flame length is not necessarily even or uniform around the circumference
of the center disk. Some areas may be lower than others, but on maximum wick height, flame length should
average between 10 mm (3/8 in.) to 25 mm (1 in.).
lf necessary, raise or lower the wick by turning the wick adjuster knob within ADJUSTMENT RANGE to produce
the proper flame condition.
NOTE: DO NOT operate your heater with wick set TOO LOW or TOO HIGH. Doing so will decrease combustion
efficiency and increase production of unwanted emissions.
NOTE: ALWAYS observe the heater closely for the first 15-20 minutes after it is lighted to be sure it is properly
adjusted.
3. ADJUSTMENT OF WICK HEIGHT WITH WICK LIFE EXTENDER
Normal use of the wick and heat chamber over a period of time may make it impossible to achieve a
satisfactorily high flame level. Usually this occurs because the wick develops deposits on it that retard fuel flow
and evaporation. When this happens, the wick should be cleaned by “burning dry” as described in item 2, page
11 “INSPECTION OF THE WICK”.
When the “burning dry” cleaning procedure is no longer effective in restoring proper
flame height, adjust the wick life extender mechanism to the next higher position.
NOTE: DO NOT move the wick life extender to a higher position unless the wick
has been cleaned by “burning dry”.
To adjust the wick height rising the wick life extender, first release the automatic
extinguisher by pushing down on the MANUAL SHUTOFF.
Then pull the wick adjuster knob from its shaft by pulling outward.

4. ΕΝΕΡΓΟΠΟΙΗΣΤΕ ΤΗΝ ΛΕΙΤΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΥΤΟΜΑΤΟΥ ΣΥΣΤΗΜΑΤΟΣ ΑΣΦΑΛΕΙΑΣ
Ηενεργοποίηση της λειτουργίας αυτόματου συστήματος ασφαλείας της θερμάστρας
γίνεται όταν γυρίσετε τον διακόπτη προσαρμογής φυτιλιού δεξιόστροφα. Όταν
οδιακόπτης γυρίζει ομαλά και χωρίς θόρυβο, δεξιά ήαριστερά, ηθερμάστρα είναι
έτοιμη να λειτουργήσει.
ΑΝΑΜΜΑ ΣΥΣΚΕΥΗΣ
ΣΗΜΕΙΩΣΗ: Όταν χρησιμοποιήσετε για πρώτη φορά την θερμάστρα σας, ανάψτε τη έξω
από το σπίτι, σε μέρος όπου δεν φυσά αέρας. Αφήστε τη να λειτουργήσει για 15 λεπτά
ώστε να αφαιρεθούν όλα τα προστατευτικά λάδια που υπάρχουν στον καυστήρα κατά την
κατασκευή της. Αυτή ηδιαδικασία είναι απαραίτητη μόνο κατά την πρώτη λειτουργία της
συσκευής.
ΣΗΜΕΙΩΣΗ: Εάν γεμίζετε τη θερμάστρα σας για πρώτη φορά, ήεάν την ξαναγεμίζετε
μετά από μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα θα χρειαστεί να περιμένετε περίπου 30 λεπτά ώστε
να ποτίσει σωστά το φυτίλι πριν το άναμμα της συσκευής. Σε περίπτωση που το φυτίλι δεν
έχει ποτίσει σωστά μπορεί να προκληθεί μόνιμη βλάβη σε αυτό για τις επόμενες χρήσεις.
1. Γυρίστε τον διακόπτη προσαρμογής φυτιλιού δεξιόστροφα
έως ότου σταματήσει. Θα ακουστεί ένας ήχος σπινθηρίσματος
εκκένωσης στη διάρκεια της διαδικασίας ανάμματος. Γυρίστε
τον διακόπτη προσαρμογής φυτιλιού δεξιόστροφα έως ότου
σταματήσει. Καθώς το φυτίλι ανεβαίνει εσωτερικά της θερμάστρας,
οδιακόπτης προσαρμογής φυτιλιού γυρίζει με κάποια αντίσταση
και ακούγεται κάποιος ήχος που μοιάζει με αυτόν του ρολογιού.
Μόλις το φυτίλι φτάσει στο σωστό ύψος, ομηχανισμός επέκτασης
ζωής του φυτιλιού ενεργοποιείται πλήρως. Οδιακόπτης προσαρμογής φυτιλιού μπορεί
τώρα να μετακινηθεί ελεύθερα προς τα δεξιά ήαριστερά ώστε να προσαρμόσετε την
φλόγα.
2. ΑΝΑΜΜΑ ΜΕ ΣΠΙΡΤΟ. Δεν θα πρέπει να ανάβετε την θερμάστρα με
σπίρτο. Σε περίπτωση όμως που αυτό είναι απολύτως απαραίτητο,
ανοίξτε την πόρτα, ανασηκώστε το πορτάκι του καυστήρα
κρατώντας το σιδερένιο χερούλι και ακουμπήστε το σπίρτο στην
κορυφή του φυτιλιού. Μην επιτρέψετε να πέσουν στην θερμάστρα
τα καμένα μέρη του σπίρτου. Αφήστε απαλά τον καυστήρα
να πατήσει στη θέση του και στρίψτε δεξιά και αριστερά με το
σιδερένιο χερούλι έως ότου καταλάβετε πως οκαυστήρας πατάει
στη σωστή θέση και στρέφει ομαλά.
ΣΗΜΕΙΩΣΗ: Για να επαναφέρετε το αυτόματο σύστημα ανάφλεξης στη σωστή
λειτουργία, αντικαταστήστε τις παλιές μπαταρίες. Αν το πηνίο ανάφλεξης είναι
ελαττωματικό, θα πρέπει να αντικατασταθεί.

When the wick adjuster knob is removed, the wick life extender control can be seen
to contain 3 sequential holes marked 1 , 2and 3. By pulling out and turning the
control dial counterclockwise, the stem pin of the adjuster can be moved from 1
to 2and to 3position as required. Each step upward from a lower to a higher
number increases the maximum wick adjustment range by 2 mm (approx. 1/13 in.).
After the wick life extender’s dial has been set, be sure the MANUAL SHUTOFF
knob is in the “OFF” position. Replace the wick adjuster knob, making sure it is
engaged securely on the wick adjuster shaft.
Repeat steps 1 through 3, as needed, in the section titled “ADJUSTING THE
FLAME”. When suitable flame length can no longer be achieved even on pin
position 3, the wick should be replaced.
NOTE : DO NOT move adjuster to higher position until lower position no longer
gives adequate flame length, even after “burning dry”.
Before replacing wick, be sure to move the wick life extender dial back to its 1
position.
CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE AUTOMATIC EXTINGUISHER BEFORE
LIGHTING YOUR HEATER.
EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME
1. Turn the wick adjuster knob counterclockwise until it stops (about 3/4 turn). Within
a few moments, the flame will be completely extinguished and the heater will be off.
2. Make sure the flame is out completely.
3. DO NOT try to relight the heater for at least three (3) minutes after turning it off, as
this may cause smoke and odor.
MANUAL SHUTOFF
When quick shutoff is necessary, push the manual shutoff.
NOTE: For routine turn-off, DO NOT use the “Manual Shutoff” or activate the
“Automatic Extinguisher” by jarring the heater. These methods may cause
unwanted odor, soot and smoke. Only the wick adjuster knob should be used
for normal shutoff.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
As with any good appliance, preventive as well as corrective maintenance is occasionally required. Please read the
following section carefully in order to enjoy the greatest benefits from your heater.
INSPECTlON OF THE WlCK
NOTE: One of the simplest but also the most important components of your heater is the wick.
With proper attention, the wick will last at least one heating season and, depending on the quality of the
fuel used, possibly longer, it helps to perform routine maintenance operations of the wick.
1. lndications that the wick may need attention are:
●low flame
●tar deposit on the top edge of the wick
●difficulty in turning the wick adjuster knob
●a flickering or dying flame
2. Clean the wick by burning dry as follows:
1) When the fuel gauge indicates empty, but the heater is still burning, raise the wick to its highest position and
allow the flame to consume the remaining fuel in the tank.
NOTE: Burning the wick dry can at times create odors. For the burning dry procedure, remove your heater from
the living area of your house into a well-ventilated area such as a garage or even a sheltered area
outside. If you burn the wick dry outside, be sure that the heater is not exposed to strong drafts during
the procedure.
2) After the heater has cooled completely, remove the heater cover as described in items 1 and 2 of the next
section.
3) Remove any residue from the wick with a small brush such as an old toothbrush. Cinders or soot in the burner
around the wick may be vacuumed away. Be careful when removing such material from the wick with a brush,
to do so gently so as not to tear the top surface of the wick.
4) Remove any tar deposits on the top of wick adjuster and primary air tube using a scraper.
NOTE: When good wick performance is no longer achieved by the burning dry process, it may be necessary to
replace the burned wick with a new one.
5) Before reassembling the heater, take a few minutes to wipe the parts with a soft cotton cloth or paper towels.
6) Reassemble the heater, following directions in item 11 of the next section.
NOTE: If the flame is still low after cleaning the wick, the wick may contain some water. It is then necessary to
replace the wick and empty all kerosene (paraffin) from the fuel tank. Dry the tank thoroughly and refill
with fresh, pure kerosene (paraffin).
11
Omni 230 Type C_US.qxd 14.8.1 13:15 ページ 11
2. LIGHTING WITH A MATCH
You should not have to light the heater with a match, but should it become
necessary, open the access door, lift the heat chamber up by holding the handle
and touch the match to the top of the wick. DO NOT allow burned parts of the
match to fall or remain on the wick.
NOTE: To restore the automatic igniter system to proper operation, replace worn-
out batteries, or if the igniter coil defective, replace it.
3. Be sure that heat chamber is properly seated by moving the heat chamber handle
left and right, and close the access door.
NOTE: An improperly seated heat chamber can cause high flame, smoke, and
potential damage to the heater itself. DO NOT leave the heater until you
have determined that the flame is burning normally, as described in the
following section.
